Can't start JetStream: could not create storage directory - mkdir /var/lib/ocis/nats: permission denied
I updated oCIS today and after I cleared all my pvcs for testing, the nats service refuses to come up:

Hm - I could workaround it with chownInitContainer: true but that hadn't been necessary in this cluster before, so I'm a little confused on what changed here.

I'm not sure what the oCIS chart should do about it.
chownInitContainer: true
is only there for CSI drivers that do not use the fsGroup from the securityContext, see also: https://github.com/owncloud/ocis- charts/blob/9614fb4cbc9f47e756dffcd28a217369fb12bb5f/charts/ocis/values.yaml#L3049-L3053
Furthermore I highly recommend you to not use the builtin NATS except for quick testing setups. If it is a testing setup only, you could just start from scratch and see if the issue persists.

Was it reproducible?
I will try to reproduce this or next week. The cluster wasn't ... operable ... for some time 😅
